Jackie Robinson Scholarship 2015

The wait is killing me :frowning: Someone said it was today right??

@WMBound2019 Well, it’s officially closing time back East.

@hallowdreams A little sad because I know others said when they called the receptionist said by today… :frowning:

@hallowdreams @FutureSurgeon97 so I called headquarters and spoke to a really nice lady. She made it sound like emails were sent yesterday so she took my info and said someone would get back to me…just something in case yall want to do the same. :slight_smile:

@WMBound2019 Huh… I’ll call my final contact at my university before I phone the Foundation. :slight_smile: Thanks.

@hallowdreams final contact??

@WMBound2019 Yes?

@WMBound2019 Thanks! I did the same.

@WMBound2019 Please let us know what they say when they get back to you, if you don’t mind! I’ll do the same.

@futuresurgeon97 I will!! What did they say to you when you called?

@WMBound2019 @FutureSurgeon97 Waiting on a callback from UCLA and the Foundation just took my information down.

@WMBound2019 Same as you. The lady said that the scholarship people were busy, and that she had no info to give me. So she took down my information and said they would give me a call back. Still waiting…

Been meaning to post for a couple of days. Called JRF on Tuesday or Wednesday to check in about when we would find out. I first talked to a receptionist who didn’t really know what was going on, so she transferred me. The lady I talked to was really nice, and said all results (whether you got it or didn’t) should be out by the end of the week (Given, I don’t really trust their deadlines lol). I told her I knew that some people had found out and some people hadn’t, and asked her whether they were doing it by regions. She said they weren’t releasing by region, but rather that it was pretty random, and they just sent out results as they made decisions, and that they hadn’t finished choosing yet.

Hope this helps. Hoping to find out today or tomorrow. Good luck, everyone!

[Edit: Nevermind]

Good luck to anyone still waiting. I received a response to one of my calls and in short-- I was told that we should be hearing back sometime this week. I’m done posting but on the slim chance that my status changes I’ll come back and update on that.

I think they’re only open Mon-Fri. So unless anyone has every gotten anything from them on a Saturday, then “later this week” should mean tomorrow. But at this point, don’t get your hopes up lol.

I’m filling out my outside scholarship report form for a college, and just to not jumped the gun and assume, do all scholars recieve $24,000/4 years?

Thanks!

@jjjj16 it varies. A scholar can get up to $6,000 a year. :slight_smile:

The scholarship already appeared in my financial aid

@bbruinbound97 were you already notified that you won or are you still waiting for an answer?
